尺素寸心（节选）

余光中

回信，固然可畏，不回信，也绝非什么乐事。书架上经常叠着百多封未回之信，“债龄”或长或短，长的甚至一年以上，那样的压力，也绝非一个普通的罪徒所能负担的。一叠未回的信，就像一群不散的阴魂，在我罪深孽重的心底幢幢作祟。理论上说来，这些信当然是要回的。我可以坦然向天发誓，在我清醒的时刻，我绝未存心不回人信。问题出在技术上。给我一整个夏夜的空闲，我该先回一年半前的那封信呢，还是七个月前的这封信？隔了这么久，恐怕连谢罪自谴的有效期也早过了吧。在朋友的心目中，你早已沦为不值得计较的妄人。“莫名其妙！”是你在江湖上一致的评语。

其实，即使终于鼓起全部的道德勇气，坐在桌前，准备偿付信债于万一，也不是轻易能如愿的。七零八落的新简旧信，漫无规则地充塞在书架上，抽屉里，有的回过，有的未回，“只在此山中，云深不知处”，要找到你决心要回的那一封，耗费的时间和精力，往往数倍于回信本身。再想象朋友接信时的表情，不是喜出望外，而是余怒重炽，你那一点决心就整个崩溃了。你的债，永无清偿之日。不回信，绝不等于忘了朋友，正如世上绝无忘了债主的负债人。在你惶恐的深处，恶魇的尽头，隐隐约约，永远潜伏着这位朋友的怒眉和冷眼，不，你永远忘不了他。你真正忘掉的，而且忘得那么心安理得，是那些已经得到你回信的朋友。

我的译文：

An Excerpt from

Unanswered Letters

vs Unbounded Friendship

By Yu Guangzhong

Answering letters does make me flinch; however, not answering them allows me no release at all. Dozens of unanswered letters pile up on my bookshelf, like a sum of debt waiting to be paid. Some have been waiting there for over one year, while some have newly arrived. The pressure from paying off that debt is far beyond what a junior debtor can endure. The stack of unanswered letters are, like a group of haunting ghosts, continually pestering my guilt-loaded soul. Generally, the letters will certainly be replied to. I can even swear by heaven that never do I have the intention not to reply when my mind is clear. The problem is how to reply. Even if I spared myself a whole summer night, I would be wavering on which letter to reply to first, the 18-month-old one or the 7-month-old? The reply has been delayed for so long that I’m afraid even heartfelt apology and self-accusation

have already become overdue. In friends’ heart, I’ve been marginalized as a cocky man unworthy of care. “Unaccountable”! That is their unanimous comment on me.

In fact, even though I pull myself together and settle down at the desk, ready to pay off the debt, my determination will easily be split up by doubts. Old and new letters, answered or yet-to-be, cram the shelf and the drawer in disorder, which reminds me of two verses: “He’s simply in the very mountain. In the depths of clouds, his whereabouts are unknown.” (from Calling on a Hermit in Vain by Jia Dao). Picking out the letter I decide to answer from such a mess will cost as multiplied time and energy as answering the letter does. Moreover, on visualizing the facial expression of friends when they receive the reply — rekindled lingering anger rather than surprised delight — my tiny amount of determination dwindle into naught. Consequently, the date when my debt is paid off extends into eternity. Although I ha ven’t answered the letters, I can never forget my friends, any more than a debtor can forget his creditor. In the depth of my disturbed and apologetic heart looms the indelible angry and icy look of my friends. Never can I forget them. Friends who really fall into oblivion, from which guilt is totally absent, are those who have received my reply.

David Pollard的译文：

Thus Friends Absent Speak

Written by Yu Guangzhong and Translated by David Pollard

If it is conceded that replying to letters is to be dreaded, on the other hand not replying to letters is by no means a matter of unalloyed bliss. Normally a hundred or so letters are stacked on my bookshelf, of diverse maturity of debt outstanding, the longest being over a year. That kind of pressure is more than an ordinary sinner can bear. A stack of unanswered letters battens on me like a bevy of plaintive ghosts and plays havoc with my smitten conscience. In principle the letters are there for replying to. I can swear in all honesty that I have never while of sound mind determined not to answer people’s letters. The problem is a technical one. Suppose I had a whole summer night at my disposal: should I first answer the letter that was sent eighteen months ago, or that one that was sent seven months ago? After such a long delay even the expiry date for apology and self-recrimination would surely have passed? In your friends’ eyes,

you have already stepped beyond the pale, are of no account. On the grapevine your reputation is “that impossible fellow”.

Actually even if you screw up all your moral courage and settle down at you desk to pay off your letter debt come what may, the thing is easier said than done. Old epistles and new missives are jumbled up together and stuffed in the drawers or strewn on shelves; some have been answered, some not. As the poet was told about the recluse he was looking for: “I know he’s in these mountains, but in this mist I can’t tell where.” The time and energy you would spend to find the letter you have decided to answer would be several times that needed to write the reply itself. If you went on to anticipate that your friend’s reaction to receiving your letter would be less “surprised by joy” than “resentment rekindled”, then your marrow would turn to water, and your debt would never be cleared.

To leave letters unanswered is not equivalent to forgetting friends, no more than it is conceivable that debtors can forget their creditors. At the bottom of such disquietude, at the end of your nightmares, there forever lurks the shadowy presence of this friend with his angry frown and baleful looks: no, you can never forget him. Those who you really put out of your mind, and do so without qualm, are those friends who have already been replied to.

Note:“尺素寸心”假如直译则不达，只好用对策。“尺素寸心”代表书信，最好是找同样代表书信的英语成语或名句。Thus friends absent speak出于John Donne的To Sir Henry Wotton一书。

终生遗憾

八十年代，有一姑娘号召：1.70米以下的男人均为“残废”。于是全国未婚女青年纷纷揭竿而起。

我细细量过九十九次自己标高，实属“终生残废”系列。

但那时年少，血旺气盛，誓与凡俗抗争到底，于是连哄带骗将一净高1.74米的女孩拐回家做了太太，这一壮举颇为“残疾人”们扬了一段眉吐了半口气。

将太太臵回家中后我才意识到我的悲哀，这一愤世之举不仅未了我“终生残废”而又平添了“终生遗憾”，我从未享受过将男人坚定有力的胳膊窝勾着太太姣美柔滑的后脖子上街遛弯的幸福。

这一幸福对我来说不仅意味着双脚要离开这生我养我的土地，而且神圣的肚脐亦将昭之于众。

现在，每每出门，高扬的手臂牢牢地挂在太太肩头，其状如猴子紧紧扒着电杆，任凭太太在马路上将我拖来拖去……

痛苦的我常常痛苦地想，如果能重活一回，我再也不与世俗去抗争，因为与世俗抗争是要付出代价的。

Lifetime Regret

In the 1980s, one young lady issued a public pronouncement dismissing all men under the height of 1.70 metres as “handicapped “. It was met with an avalanche of responses from virtually all unmarried women in the nation.

After making perennial efforts to measure my exact height, I reached the inescapable conclusion that I was permanently handicapped. Back in those days, I was a callow young chap vastly capable of daring and fool-hardiness, and determined to wrestle with this prejudice against men’s lack of height .So by hook or by crook, I married a girl who was 1.74 metres in height. Such an astonishing tour de force thus achieved greatly bolstered the morale and esteem of those of us who were “handicapped”.

But only after the girl was enticed into matrimony did I begin to feel my self-inflicted anguish. This over-reaction of mine not only failed to put an end to my “permanent handicap”, but also gave me lifetime regret. I was deprived of the earthly pleasure of walking with my wife in the street with my strong arm around her delicate neck because it meant that my feet would be lifted from the land that had nurtured me, and worse still, my sacred belly-button would be put on public display.

What happens now is that whenever we go out together, with my outstretched arms tightly clinging to my wife’s shoulder, I am pretty much like a monkey hanging on to a wire pole, allowing her to drag my along the street…

In excruciating agony, I often ponder this: if I could live my life once again, I would never try to achieve the elimination of prejudices of any kind for the simple reason that there is a price to pay.

Sept.11 delivered both a shock and a surprise—the attack and our response to it—and we can argue forever over which mattered more. There had been so much talk of the goodness that erupted that day that we forget how unprepared we were for it. We did not expect much from a generation that had spent its middle age examining all the ways it failed to measure up to the one that had come before—all fat, no muscle, less a beacon to the world than a bully, drunk on blessings taken for granted.

It was tempting to say that Sept. 11 changed all that, just as it is tempting to say that every hero needs a villain, and goodness needs evil as its grinding stone. But try looking a window in the eye and talking about all the good that has come of this. It may not be a coincidence, but neither is it a partnership: good does not need evil, we owe no debt to demons and the attack did not make us better. It was an occasion to discover what we already were. “Maybe the purpose of all this,” New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said at a funeral for a friend, “is to find out if America today is as

strong as when we fought for our independence or when we fought for ourselves as a Union to end slavery or as strong as our fathers and grandfathers who fought to rid the world of Nazism”. The terrorists, he argues, were counting on our cowardice. They’ve learned a lot abo ut us since then. And so have we.

For leading that lesson, for having more faith in us than we had in ourselves, for being brave when required and rude where appropriate and tender without being trite, for not sleeping and not quitting and not shrinking from the pain all around him, Rudy Giuliani, Mayor of the World, is TIME’s 2001 Person of the Year.

11事件让我们措手不及，也令我们震惊不已。如果要问袭击造成的影响和我们做出的反应，哪一个更有讨论意义，可能永远也没有办法给出答案。四面八方传颂着当天涌现的英勇感人事迹，我们却忘记了自己疏于防备而不堪一击。我们本没有对这一代人期待太多，因为我们看到的是他们花去壮年时期反复考察他们不及上一代人的原因。结果落得大腹便便，看不到一丝一毫的力量与活力。他们自以为是世界的航标，其实是身在福中不知福的恃强凌弱者。911事件以后想必他们对我们有了很多了解。当然我们对自己也有了不少认识。 朱利安尼在参加一个朋友的葬礼时这样说道：“也许这一切的目的是要我们看到当今的美国仍像我们为独立而战时一样强大；当今的美国仍像我们为推翻奴隶制而团结奋战时一样强大；当今的美国仍像我们的父辈为粉碎纳粹而战时一样强大。”他指出，恐怖主义分子希望我们怯懦，从9 11事件中表现出的正义。这次也许并不是一个巧合。正义与邪恶也不是相互依存，正义不需要邪恶陪伴。我们也不欠这些恶棍什么。这次袭击也没有让我们变得更好。这是一个我们自省的机会。纽约市市长鲁迪 11死难者遗孀的眼睛，谈谈9 11事件改变了这一切，正如同我们会脱口而出说每一个英雄都需要一个反面人物来衬托，正义需要邪恶来砥砺。但试着看看9 我们也许会脱口而出9

他以身作则，比我们自己更信任我们。必须时挺身而出，必要时态度强硬，充满柔情又不落俗套，废寝忘食,苦难当前毫不退缩。他就是朱利安尼,全世界最出色的市长,《时代》周刊2001年度人物.

英语翻译答案

汉译英 1.广场舞是社区中老年居民以健身、社交等为目的在广场、公园等开敞的地方进行的健身操或舞蹈，通常以高分贝的音乐伴奏。广场舞在中国大陆无论南北皆十分普遍。对于广场舞的确切认识，社会学界及体育界目前均未达成共识。广场舞的高分贝音乐常常造成噪音滋扰，因此许多居民反对在小区中跳广场舞。 The square dancing is a bodybuilding exercise or dance performed in wide and open places such as squares and parks among the middle-aged and old residents in communities, with the purpose of bodybuilding, socializing and so on, generally accompanied with high-pitched music. The square dancing is very popular all over mainland China, whether in the north or in the south. Neither the sociological circle nor the sports circle has currently reached a consensus on the exact perception of the square dancing. The high-pitched music of the square dancing often causes noisy disruption, and therefore many residents are opposed to the square dancing in communities. 2.故宫，又称紫禁城，是明、清两代的皇宫，二十四位皇帝在此生活起居和处理政务。它是世界现存最大、最完整的木质结构的古建筑群(architectural complex)。宫殿墙壁的色调以红色和黄色为主,红色代表快乐、好运和财富，而黄色代表帝王的神圣和尊贵。近十几年来，故宫平均每年接待中外游客600-800万人次，随着旅游业的繁荣，游客人数有增无减，可见人们对故宫的兴趣长盛不衰。 The Imperial Palace, also known as the Forbidden City, was the palace in Ming and Qing Dynasties where 24 emperors lived and handled government affairs. It is the largest and most complete existing ancient wooden architectural complex in the world. The palace wall was painted mainly in red and yellow. Red represents happiness, luck and fortune while yellow symbolizes imperial holiness and dignity. In recent decades, the Imperial Palace is visited annually by six to eight million tourists at home and abroad. Moreover, with flourishing tourism industry, the number of tourists keeps increasing. It shows people’s everlasting and unfading interest in the Imperial Palace. 3.《新闻联播》是中国中央电视台（CCTV）每日播出的一个新闻节目。节目每次播出时长一般为30分钟。它被中国大陆大多数地方频道同时转播，这使得它成为世界上收看人数最多的节目之一。自从1978年1月1日首次播出以来，它就以客观、生动、丰富的纪实手段记录着中华大地每一天的变化。作为中国官方新闻资讯类节目，《新闻联播》以沉稳、庄重的风格著称。 Xinwen Lianbo is a news program broadcast by China Central Television (CCTV) every day.

课外翻译作业汉译英1参考译文

Please translate the following passage into English. 女儿夫妇约我晚膳，我们大家见面的时候，聊个不停，女儿忽然脸色凝重对我说：“昨晚我很伤心，大哭了一场。”她还没把话说完，我已急着问她到底发生了什么事？ My daughter and her husband invited me to dinner. We chattered a lot over the meal. All of a sudden, my daughter looked very grave and said to me, “I was very sad last night. I cried for a long time.” Before she had quite finished, I hastened to ask what had happened. [注释] “见面的时候，聊个不停”，根据前文应理解为“见面、进餐时聊个不停”，故译为“chattered a lot over the meal”。 “脸色凝重”译为“looked very grave”。 女儿看见我很认真的问她，她又满脸笑容向我解释：“妈，你放心，我只是看了一个韩国电影，因为剧情凄怨感人，使我愈看愈伤心，跟着情绪非常的激动，我按捺不住，便放声大哭了，看完戏之后，眼睛已揉得又红又肿、鼻子也捏痛了。” Sensing the anxiety in my face, she quickly broke into a smile and explained, “Mom, don’t be alarmed. It’s the South Korean film I watched. The story is very sad. As the plot developed, I became more and more responsive and grief-stricken. Unable to control myself, I burst out crying. When the show was over, my eyes were red and swollen, and my nose hurt badly with too much wiping. ” [注释] “认真的（地）”在此处不宜译作seriously，seriously 是认真地，非玩笑地。根据淑婉着急的心态，试译为anxiety。 “满脸笑容”不译为full of smiles, 而译为broke into a smile, 以此描述她女儿表情瞬间的转换。 “你放心”，按上下文推论，译作don’t be alarmed，因为淑婉以为大事不妙，十分惊慌；她女儿请她不必担心。 “……，使我愈看愈伤心，……”。此处的“愈……愈……”，不译作the … , the …，因为淑婉的女儿在这里的意思只可能是故事展开后，剧情更令人伤心。所以译为：as the plot developed, …。 “情绪非常的激动”，如译作excited，则远未刻画出当时她女儿的悲伤心态。根据前文试译为grief-stricken一词。 “看完戏之后，……”不宜译作I’ve finished seeing the film。试译作更为地道的表达：When the show was over, …。 “……，眼睛已揉得又红又肿、鼻子也捏痛了。”这里的两个动词（“揉”和“捏”）都不宜按字典直译。 我听后，真替她难受，我从没看过有人因看戏而令自己悲伤心情达到极点的。我劝她不要自寻烦恼，每天下班回家已经疲累不堪，要纾解自己的工作压力，却为一个苦情戏，耗掉这么多眼泪，值得吗？ Having heard her out, I felt sorry for her sake. I have never known a person saddened to such an extreme over a mere play. “Don’t look for misery, ”I advised her. “You are exhaust ed enough after a very long day’s work. What you need is relaxation and recreation. Do you think it is worthwhile to shed so many tears over a sentimental tale?” [注释] “我听后，……，…….达到极点的”。这部分可用拆分法译成独立的两句。 “因看戏”的参考译文是“…over a mere play”，“mere”为加强语气而增添，与后面

汉英语篇翻译练习答案： 1．Retirement Attitudes toward retirement vary from person to person. Some people think that they will enjoy their time in retirement, but when it comes they may feel a little disappointed. Unwilling to resign themselves to the prospect of being put on the scrap heap, they try to seek alternative outlets for their energies and alternative sources of income that employment can provide. Others have already prepared themselves for the significant change in their lives. Tired out after all exhaus ting life revolving around work, they are anxious to relax in retirement with all the strains relieved. As there is no more need to rush to catch a morning bus and no more anxiety about promotion, they now have enough time to fulfill an old dream, such as writing, painting, growing flowers and traveling around. On the whole, female workers tend to have a more favorable attitude towards retirement than male workers. Withdrawal from employment to complete domesticity is a far less threatening experience for a woman than for a man. 2. Good-bye, My Ill-fated Motherland! The moment I set foot on the deck of the ship, there began my temporary separation from Chinese oil and a feeling of parting sorrow welled up in my heart. At sailing time, I stood on deck watching the ship receding slowly from the bank until I was out of sight of the towering waterfront buildings and the foreign warships on the Huangpu River. Thereupon I turned round with hot tears in my eyes, murmuri ng, “Good-bye, my ill-fated motherland!” Good-bye, my ill-fated motherland! I own what I am to the upbringing you have given me during the past 22 years. I have spent every day of my life in your warm bosom and under your loving care. Y ou have given me joy and sorrow as well as food and clothing. This is where my close relatives were born and brought up and where I have friends here and there. Y ou gave me a wide variety of happiness in my early childhood, but you have also been the source of my sorrow ever since I began to understand things. Here I have witnessed all sorts of human tragedy. Here I have come to know the times we live in. Here I have undergone untold sufferings. I have been struggling, fighting and, time and again, found myself on the brink of destruction and covered all over with cuts and bruises. I have laid to rest, with tears and sighs, some of my close relatives—relatives victimized by old feudal ethnics. Here, besides beautiful mountains and rivers and fertile farmland, we have ghastly prisons and execution grounds as well. Here bad people hold sway while good people suffer and justice is trodden down underfoot. Here people have to wage a savage struggle in order to win freedom. Here man eats man. O the numerous terrible scenes! O the numerous sad memories! O the grand Y ellow River! O the mysterious Y angtze River! Where on earth are your glories of the past? O my native land! O my people! How can I have the heart to leave you! Good-bye, my ill-fated motherland! Much as I hate you, I’ve got to love you as ever. （选自《英语世界》2004年第三期，张培基译）

翻译作业 汉译英

姓名：张金朵 班级：11级11班 学号：1125011115 “无债一身轻”的回味 Recapturing the Feeling of “Out of Debt” 二十多年前，当我第一次来到西方国家时，有一件事颠覆了我的传统概念，那就是不要怕借债。在中国传统文化里，是“无债一身轻”，证明你可自食其力，不依靠别人；而在西方社会里，是“有债一身轻”，因为那样证明你有信用，有人肯把钱借给你，同时也说明了你挣钱的能力。 About twenty years ago, when I first came to a western country, I was shocked by one thing--debt. In traditional Chinese culture, it is the saying＂out of debt, out of pressure＂that indicate you can support yourself without relying on others; however, in the west, it is just opposite-- when you are in debt, you are trustworthy and financially capable. 就经济的发展规律而言，随着财富的积累，资源的消耗，物价总是上涨的，货币总是要贬值的，因而“今天花明天的钱”、“拿别人的钱来赚钱”便总是上算的。所以，结论是一定要借钱。 In terms of the economic law, it’s believed that paper currency will always be depreciated as wealth is accumulated, resources reduced and price inflated. The golden rule therefore is always to purchase future goods using today’s money, or making money by borrowing from others. 然而，任何事情都有“限度”，超过了便会走向反面；同时，在长期的总体规律之中，又有着短期的阶段性。 However, everything can go wrong if it goes over the limit, during which the short-term stage can co-exist with the long term economic cycles. 以美国人的生活为例，大部分都为债务人，或者说是靠债务来维持其很高的生活水准。在正常情况下，似乎一切都没有问题。但是，一旦经济周期进入低谷，
